OK here is one for all of you.. Does anyone know of a burner that supports DVD-A playback?? My boss blindsided me with that one this morning and I have no idea. Any ideas?? Thanks!!
D'ya mean DVD Audio?
Tyup DVD Audio. He wants a DVD burner that can play DVD Audio. None of the specs that I have looked at say anything about DVD Audio playback..
Found this thread about it http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/1/192524.html
It's a software issue not a hardware one.. I think any DVD burner could do it IF you found software that could author the disk.
3 problems.
1. Finding a DVD-A ripping program will be next to impossible
2. If DVD-A is not your source, what is the point?
3. The format is about as RARE as laser disks and in decline.
And here I thought a DVD Audio disk was just a DVD with mpeg audio in the AUDIO_TS folder, instead of system (video/audio) streams in the VIDEO_TS folder :o
Pretty much any DVD drive should have no problems reading a DVD-Audio disk. Finding software that can playback DVD-A also shouldn't be too much of a problem. But finding a sound card that can actually reproduce the audio in its full quality is where you'll likely run into problems - not many cards out there will do the 192khz/24-bit sampling that DVD-A is capable of.
